The below graph shows the average detached house price in the Wigan local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The four 40 LESSINGHAM AVENUE sales between June 1999 and May 2020 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the June 2007 sale was for 27% below the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 27% below the HPI over time, until the May 2020 sale, where it falls to 34% below the HPI. The line then continues to track at 34% below the HPI.
